Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for June 21, 2022

wow… three food-related tidbits

Yep, there was a Casa de Fritos in Yesterland until 2001.

Casa De Fritos was sponsored by Frito Lays. I tend to think someone was snorting cheeto powder and it got all over the tortilla chips.

That syrup is probably dissolving the plastic and not the stainless steal. Mmm liquid plastic!

I remember the days when Coke syrup was shipped in one gallon glass bottles to many soda fountains.

Let’s see If RBION goes better with Coca-Cola.

A beautiful blonde walks into a casino and over to a soda machine and arrives there just before a business man who’s come to quench his thirst. She opens her purse and gets out a dollar for the machine, studies it , presses the Diet Coke selection , and out comes a Diet Coke , which she places on a counter by the machine.

Then she reaches in her purse again and pulls out a 5 Dollar bill and inserts it in the machine. Studying the machine carefully, she presses the button for Coca-Cola Classic and out came a Coke Classic and 4 Dollars change.

She takes a Dollar from the change and puts it in the machine, studies for a moment, and presses the Sprite button. Out comes a Sprite. As she sorts another Dollar from her change the businessman, who has been waiting patiently for several minutes, speaks up. “Excuse me miss, but are you done yet?” She looks at him and indignantly replies, “Well, Duh! I’m like, still winning!”

I feel another joke coming on.

A woman who drank 10 litres of Coca Cola every day has died.

She ate a Mentos and they found her head 3 blocks away.

Ah! Until next time.

In addition to stainless steel syrup tanks, McDonald’s water filtration system is of the highest level, syrup is pre-chilled before placing it in the machine, machines are set for a syrup-to-water ratio that accounts for melting ice and filtered water is pre-chilled before going into the machine.

i couldn’t tell the last time i had mickey d’s or choke a cola…..

I couldn’t tell you the last time I had mickeyDs or chokeacola………

Yep, I know about those stainless steel syrup containers. Served a four-year sentence at McD’s and we had a bunch of them in the back. And on certain days, they were used to block a few parking spaces because we’d be getting a truck delivery.

A lot of snacks that are pieces of previous snacks are a marketing thing to sell stuff that used to be discarded. For example the latest is pretzel pieces.

I remember drug store counters where they poured the Coke syrup then the seltzer water. If you asked nicely, sometimes you’d get a dollop more syrup.

…..and out of those million steaks a total of 7 were cooked exactly how the customer ordered them.

Take care, may singing spatula shiner Pat “They Never Get Clean But Boy Do They Get Bright” Boonord be with you, and gesundheit.

MY tongue can’t taste the difference because I NEVER take it into a Mcdonald’s.

Speaking of McDonald’s.

An elderly couple are at McDonald’s. They order one meal between the 2 of them and go and sit down.

The guy in the booth next to them notices they’ve only got one meal and offers to buy them another one.

The elderly man says “no thank you we share everything”.

So the elderly man then cuts the burger in half and gives half to his wife. She starts to eat and the elderly man just sits there.

The man in the booth looks over again and this time notices the elderly man isn’t eating yet. So he asks "why aren’t you eating as well?

The elderly man replies:. “I’m waiting for the dentures”.

Perhaps another?

Last call.

Three recent college graduates met in McDonald’s, and the engineering major said, “Did you see the new wind turbines going up on the east side of town? They had asked our class to run some stress studies during windstorms as an exercise”.

“Yes”, the geology graduate said, “They also contacted us, about the bedrock depth for foundations”.

The Liberal Arts major turned to him and said, “Do you want fries with that?”

Until next time.

Interesting fact about the cola syrup. But the feces used to make the hamburgers are still shipped by horse-drawn wagon.

Huh. An internet search shows that tortilla chips were invented in the 1940s and Disneyland didn’t open until 1955. The decision to brand them as Doritos may have been attributed to Casa de Fritos.

…like repackaging old fairy tales

Years ago, ALL syrup came in stainless steel canisters. Then Bag-in-the-Box was invented about and most restaurants switched to this for ease of storage, changing, and disposal.

Incredible panel for today – wowee!!

This was probably when “Frito Bandito” commercials were running,and before the phrase “ethnic stereotyping” was invented.

Let me try oneMeet Walter Barnes

All golfers should live so long as to become this kind of old man! Toward the end of the Sunday service, the Minister asked, “How many of you have forgiven your enemies?” 80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one man, Walter Barnes. “Mr. Barnes, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?” “I don’t have any,” he replied gruffly.“Mr. Barnes, that is very unusual. How old are you?”“Ninety-eight,” he replied. The congregation stood up and clapped their hands. “Oh, Mr. Barnes, would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world?” The old golfer tottered down the aisle, stopped in front of the pulpit, turned around, faced the congregation, and said simply, “I outlived all them assholes.”

When I was a kid, a friend and I hung out for a while at a food stand by the side of a highway. He had the syrup and the carbonated water both in metal containers, which he would then mix together. He let us sample both in their unmixed state. The syrup was very strong, and the carbonated water reminds me of what Alka-Seltzer tasted like…

There is no way to tell the difference in Coke – it all tastes like…- how do you describe that peculiar taste. I only drink Pepsi in cola – and hardly any of that. Must not be a cola person.

I actually prefer soda from a metal container over anything else, it’s why I prefer cans over bottles. I always wondered why I preferred the taste of the coke from McDonalds over any other fast food restaurant.

Best coke mixture I had was at London Fish and Chips. Don’t know what happened to that place, or fish and chips in general.

Still not as good as the Mexican Coca-Cola & Sprite in the black glass bottles!

I staked a million grills.

I remember that Doritos thing at the Casa de Fritos.

My family lived in So. California and we went to Disneyland a lot of times.

And visited Casa de Fritos every time.

Last coke I had came in the form of a Cuba Libre.
